Letters Patent No. 62,065, dated February 12, 1867'.

IMPROVEMENT IN OIL SANS;

@La tlgehule referrer tu in tlgese tntter zmut mit making smit uf tigt stmt.

`TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONOERN:

Be it known that I, ABRAHAM H. PHILLIPPI, of Reading, in the county ot' Berks, and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new Improvement in Oil Cans; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon,

Figure 1 represents a vertical transverse section through the centre; and

Figure 2 represents a ground p'lan or top View.

The same letters refer to the same parts in both figures.

This oil can is made in size and shape like those commonly used for oiling machinery, for which this can is intended. The spout is soldered to a brass socket, which screws intoa ferrule soldered to the top ofthe can at T, iig. 1. To the upper end of the spout is soldered the curved brass tube B, the lower end of which is counltersunk to form a valve-seat for the conical valve V. This valve is secured to the upper end of the rod R, and the lower end is attached to the arm A. The stem projects down through the tube U, and is screwed into the said arm at C. The tube U is soldered fast to the body of the can, and serves as a guide to the stem O. The spring S is adjustable by one end fitting nicely in a guard that is soldered to the handle of the can at H, and one end of said spring rests on the stem 0. L L represents a box, having bottomv and two sides, and having its ends soldered to the sides of the can. X X is a flat metallic spring,ione end of which is soldered to the spring box at J, and the other end presses against the arm A and forces the valve V against its seat. The spring box L serves as a support and protection to the spring X X. W represents the funnel tube for lling the can. The advantage of the flat spring is that it works Without friction, and is not liable to kink, The employment of a spiral spring inside the can is objectionable, as the hard c'rust of gummy oil very son prevents it working by entirely closing up the space between the wire. y

When the can is brought in proper position the oil will flow out through the spout by pressing'the thumb on the spring S. It will be seen by the construction of this can that it' the stem O is unscrewed, and also the spout, the valve-rodR and arm A can be easily removed when necessary to clean or repair it.

Having described the nature and construction of my invention, what I desire to claim, and secure by Letters Patent, is

The box' L, at spring X, rod R, arm A., and rod U, when the whole are arranged as and for the -purpose set forth and described.

In testimony that I acknowledge the foregoing as my wn I hereby aiiix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.

ABRAHAM H. PHILLIPPI.
